ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for conveying a blood sample through a flow cell which measures characteristics such as pH, PCO.sub.2, and PO.sub.2 of the sample and for pumping a wash solution through the cell between samples. The flow cell inlet is selectively connected (1) to a sample-filled syringe for driving sample through the flow cell or (2) to a reservoir of the wash solution. The flow cell outlet is connected by a conduit to a waste receptacle. A rotor of a combined peristaltic pump and valve coacts with an elastomeric tubular section of the conduit. The rotor and the elastomeric section are movable in a transverse direction relative to each other between (1) a first or pumping position wherein the rotor compressively engages the section for pumping fluid wash solution through the cell and the conduit and (2) a second or relaxed position wherein the rotor is released from the section to provide an open unrestricted channel for the flow of sample driven by the syringe through the cell.
